Hi Jannik. I have just test them and I really like them. Regardless the particular strategy, using a strategy, and thus being able to easily swich and extend, is just great.

Now, a couple of observations:

- It is not completely clear for me what it is each option. What is standard? if tomorrow the standard change? I would try to avoid such names and put something better. Random ? I don't know.
What is reverse stragger ??

You're right, I use the name already existing in Squeak/Pharo.

We should change them.

Reverse Stragger is the one used in Squeak/Pharo: random, which is not a random but a placement where it is the better (hummmm, not sure it works fine).

Standard is a placement where the screen is divided in four space (top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right) and window are placed in each of these spaces.

- I think it should be also documented if possible in the settings browser, what does each option mean.

Yes, I will do this, or someone with a better english :)))

- I think that for 1.2 we are quite free to change and do what we want. So, we can change the default. I think cascade is the better. What I really think is that we need something deterministic. Fixed. Not random. Not surprise. Maybe not all of you agree. I would like to hear other opinions.

Again, you're right.

I make the cascade setting because the other are not easy to use when I use my big screen.

Reverse Stragger is cool on a 15 inches, but on a larger screen it is really difficult.

I leave it to Reverse Stragger to not change the habit.

Now, I think Cascade is better.

Other opinions ?

Cheers,

Jannik
